This is my 2nd employee. The first one I am going to have to fire.
It’s due to a lack of effort. Phones and music are allowed due to the job being monotonous. Every time I pass by their office they quickly get off the phone.
I can tell when someone is trying or not with this specific job. Also, I have asked and stated to ask me any questions if needed. Expectations are clear.
This is the 5th day they are working for me. Do I need documentation?
Are they getting their work done?
No. Not close, I can see by the responses that I wasn’t clear enough. I told them if the job gets done early they can leave whenever (full day paid). I do not care that they are on the phone while working. I care when they are scrolling on the phone while being way behind.
Are my expectations too high for someone day 5? No, I can train someone off the street right now that could do more tomorrow. The employee done more day 1 & 2 then 3-5.
